About Professor Reed

Dr. Reed is in her fifth year of teaching, her first year at Texas Wesleyan. She teaches Advanced Business Applications and is a self-proclaimed “computer science nerd.” Dr. Reed loves teaching and being able to share her passion for computer science.

Why did Dr. Reed want to become a member of the Texas Wesleyan family? The fact that it is a "Smaller. Smarter." family. She has been a faculty member at many different schools but has never felt as at home as she does here. And when Dr. Reed says “at home” it may have a different meaning than some others because Texas is nowhere close to home.

Her home is far in the North Atlantic Ocean, on the beautiful island of Iceland. She finds Texas Wesleyan’s diversity and uniqueness is not only accepted, it is championed! As a foreign national she relates to international students who are so far away from home. Dr. Reed always goes out of her way to make all of her students feel wanted and welcome. That is why she loves being a part of the Wesleyan family. Here, regardless of where you come from, everyone is wanted and welcomed.
